This trailer shows off a hand cannon for Dead Space 2 that players receive as a reward for completing Visceral's third-person shooter sequel in hardcore mode. The new weapon can dispatch enemies handily, and can also serve to show your belief in your team's preeminence during sporting events. The game's hardcore mode is accessible after completing the single-player game and requires you to play on ultra-hard mode with only three saves. Thanks VG247.

It's that the schematics for multiple elite suits don't exist and aren't where they're supposed to be. Tweet doesn't mention the handcannon either.

I read somewhere that certain rooms only open if you have a save file from the console-only downloaded games like Extraction and Ignition, and in those rooms is bonus items. Is this the content you are talking about? Or is there more than the Elite Suit that you are supposed to get from beating the game? I beat it last night and I thought the little message only mentioned the suit.

In any case it would have been nice of them to have the Ignition and Extraction content unlocked for us by default since we can't play those games. At the end of the day though I am sure that was overpowered stuff that wasn't considered in the making of the main game. I kind of like to preserve intended game balance and stick with the core game experience, bonus items and such just throw that off for me and I usually ignore them (like I ignored the armor and weapon I got with the collector's edition).
